Annual Holiday Hope Drive

A holiday shopping experience where every gift is free and every family gets to choose.

At Impact NW, we believe every family deserves to experience the joy of giving during the holidays. That’s why our Holiday Hope Drive works a little differently from traditional gift drives.

Instead of matching donors with individual families or distributing preselected gifts, we transform community donations into a festive holiday store where parents and caregivers can shop for their loved ones at no cost.

Вот как это работает:

1. Our Community Comes Together

Local businesses, organizations, and individuals commit to collecting gifts through workplace giving trees, community gift drives, or individual donations. Supporters can use our gift tags, which include age-appropriate gift suggestions, or shop from our Amazon Wish List.

2. We Fill the Holiday Hope Store

With the help of volunteers, donated gifts are sorted and arranged into a welcoming holiday shopping experience, with gifts for children, teens, and adults.

3. Families Choose What Matters Most

Families participating in Impact NW programs are invited to visit the store and select gifts for their loved ones, completely free of charge. Parents and caregivers know their families best, and our approach gives them the freedom to choose gifts that reflect their loved ones’ unique personalities, interests, and needs.

4. The Joy of Giving Goes Home

Families leave with gifts they’ve chosen themselves, ready to create special moments and holiday memories. It’s about more than presents. It’s about preserving dignity, celebrating family traditions, and making sure everyone can experience the joy of giving.

This year, our goal is to bring holiday joy to approximately 270 families, including 500 children, across our community.
